Access your OneDrive to find the files that you're looking to bring into your Nifty Workspace. These imported files are duplicates of their counterparts in your OneDrive solution. Note that this is different than synced Office365 documents.

Integrating your OneDrive

You can integrate your OneDrive by accessing the App Center section of your Profile Settings. Once you select Install, follow the steps in the login flow.

If you're utilizing Microsoft SSO, then you'll already be integrated to your OneDrive!

Once integrated, you can access your OneDrive from several locations throughout Nifty.

Importing from OneDrive in a Task

Select the "+" button in the Docs and Files section of a Task to open up the OneDrive import option. Files uploaded in a Task will also be found in the Files section of the project.

Importing from OneDrive in a Discussion or Direct Message

Select the "+" button in the Discussions or Direct Message chat bar --> select Upload a file from --> then OneDrive import option.

Importing from OneDrive in Files

Select the "Upload File" button, then select the OneDrive import option.

Approving the Nifty PM App

When users see the message “Your admin has been notified to your request to access this app”, it means your Microsoft 365 tenant requires admin consent before third-party apps can be used. Please follow the steps below to grant access:

1. Sign in as an Administrator

  • Log in to the Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) admin portal using an account with Global Administrator or Cloud Application Administrator rights.

2. Open Enterprise Applications

  • From the left-hand menu, go to Azure Active Directory (Entra ID).

  • Select Enterprise Applications.

  • Choose All Applications.

3. Locate the Nifty App

  • Search for Nifty (or NiftyPM) in the list of applications.

  • Click on the app to open its details.

4. Review Permissions

  • In the app’s settings, go to Permissions (sometimes called API permissions).

  • You’ll see the list of permissions Nifty is requesting, such as access to calendars.

5. Grant Admin Consent

  • Click the Grant admin consent button at the top of the page.

  • Confirm the action when prompted.

  • Once done, a green checkmark or confirmation message will indicate that the app has been approved.

6. Verification

  • After consent is granted, all users in your organization can connect their Microsoft accounts to Nifty without seeing the admin approval message.

  • Ask the end user to retry connecting their account in Nifty to confirm everything works.

Alternative Path (if the app is not listed)

  • Go to Azure Active DirectoryApp registrations*→ All applications.

  • Search for Nifty and open it.

  • Under API permissions, click Grant admin consent.
